Please note the forecast wind gusts for tomorrow. 50-60mph gusts inland in some areas and this is very unusual for the time of year. You might need to find a plan B if you've got any outdoor plans or events. Marquees / gazebos / tents won't like this...

Re: Wet & Windy Weekend expected, no Watts though...

Not a single point of failure, it was caused by the unplanned loss of two large generators in different places at more or less the same time, and also two wind turbine units. Happened within 30 seconds. The system then saw rapidly falling frequency which caused automatic load shedding to protect the grid as a whole, otherwise it would all have collapsed. All power supplies have now been restored. Sheer chance that these things happened so closely together.

“Delhi has entirely shut down the Internet, landline and mobile networks in the India-controlled part of the Himalayan region of Kashmir”. So easy to do, the effect here, or anywhere, would be unthinkable.

Ah well, back to the weather, over here in the east all is calm but the forecast for tomorrow is wet & very windy....

Blowing a gale here is the far west of Wales and although my tomatoes are suffering outside, thankfully my baby sized chillies are out of the worst of it keeping smug (sorry, snug) and relatively warm in the greenhouse.
